I will not say anything about the proposed casting of this film, nor will I say anything about it being a remake of the classic kung-fu film Five Deadly Venoms. I am trying to behave today. However, YOU all have free reign over this. Read the list. Ponder the possibilities and have at it...
Director Kirk Wong (The Big Hit, Jackie Chan's Crime Story) says the cast will probably include Jay Chou (Curse of the Golden Flower, Initial D) as the prodigy and Edison Chen (The Grudge 2, Dog Bite Dog, Initial D), Maggie Q (Live Free or Die Hard, Mission: Impossible III, Naked Weapon), Huang Xiaoming (The Banquet), Wu Jing (Invisible Target, Sha Po Lang, Drunken Monkey) and Liu Chia-Hui (dozens of Show Bros. classics) as the Five Deadly Venoms.
Just to brush up on the story for those unfortunate enough to have never scene the Chang Cheh original. The Five Deadly Venoms was about a young prodigy ordered by his dying master to eliminate five of his previous students, known as the Five Deadly Venoms, who have turned to evil. Each of the Five Deadly Venoms has a lethal skill learned from a toxic animal: The Centipede, Snake, Scorpion, Lizard, and Toad. What is more challenging is that the Master does not know who they were among his students because everyone wore masks. The young prodigy must team up with the right former student in order to defeat the others.

I'll just be over here... screaming into my pillows.
